To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN P. DALSING, a citizen of the United States,residing at Oneida, in the countyof Nemaha fState of Kansas, haveinvented certain new and use-- ful Improvements in Flows; and I dohereby declare the followingto be a full clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such" has for an object to provide a device of thischaracter having novel means for swinging the Cultivator bladeslaterally in and out between rows of plants so that the ground may becultivated between the rows.

lVith the above object in view, the invention consists of certain noveldetails of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed, it being understood that various modificationsmay be made in the minor details of construction within the scope of theappended claim.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a side elevation of the cultivator with the near wheel removed.Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cultivator showing the blades in full linesin one position and in dotted lines in an ad justed position. Fig. 3 isa front elevation of the cultivator. Fig. 4; is a horizontal sectionalView taken on the line 4% Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a rear elevation of the cultivator. Fig. 6 is a side elevationof the cultivator showing the blades lowered. Fig. 7 isa fragmentaryvertical sectional View taken on the line 7-7 Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is afragmentary sectional view taken on the line 88 Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawings, in which like characters of referencedesignate similar parts, 10 designates a draft tongue which is equippedat the rear end with an arched axle 11, that is equipped with groundwheels 12. Disposed on the tongue in advance of the axle is a bowedhanger 13, andv this hanger is rigidly connected with the axle by meansof links 14 arranged on opposite sides of the tongue and connectedterminally to the hanger and the axle.

Two cultivator beams 15 are employed, each beam being equipped at therear ends with a blade 16, and being equipped at the front end with avertically disposed coupling 17 which is swivelly attached to the beamas shown at 18. Upon each end of the hanger is loosely mounted acoupling 19 which is equipped with a sleeve 20 through which and theadjacent coupling 17 avertically disposed pivot bolt 21' is passed. Thecultivator beam may thus be swung laterally on the vertical pivot pin 21and may "alsofs'wivel on tie coupling 17 to maintain theblade in levelengagement with the soil.

Each beam is equipped on the inner side with a supplemental cultivatorbeam 22 which is provided on the lower end with a blade 23 and which isprovided on the forward end with an eye 24: through which and a similareye 25 carried by the main beam a bolt 26 is passed.

For simultaneously swinging the main beams laterally, bracket arms 27are secured to the hanger 13, and to these bracket arms are centrallypivoted links 28, connection between the links and bracket arm beingmade by ball and socket joints 29. The front ends of the links areconnected by a rod 30 which in turn is centrally connected to a crankshaft 31 which is j ournaled in the tongue 10 and is equipped at thelower end with laterally disposed pedals 32 against which the feet ofthe operator may be placed to actuate the shaft 31 and simultaneouslyswing the links 28 on the bracket arm. To each main beam is fixed anupright arm 33 which is connected to the rear end of the related link 28by means of a ball and socket joint 34.

By now referring to Fig. 2, it will be seen that upon the links 28 beingswung simultaneously in one direction, the main beams 15 are swungsimultaneously in the opposite direction. The operator may thusmanipulate the main beams to cause the cultivator blades to movelaterally between the rows of plants and thus thoroughly cultivate thesoil between the'rows.

For raising the blades when it is desired to transport the cultivatorfrom place to place, an operating lever 35 is mounted upon the tongue 10and carries the usual notched segment and latch for holding the lever inadjusted positions, the lever being equipped further with rods 86 whichare connected to the main beams 15. Upon the.

lever being shoved forwardly, the main beams are simultaneously liftedand the blades raised from the ground. The couplings 19 pivoting on thehanger 13 in the meantime, and the links 28 also pivoting onswinginglink having ball and socket con-.

nections intermediate the ends with the intermediate portions of saidarms, a shift; lever connected to the front ends of saidlinks forswinging said links on said connections, plows having the beams pivotedCopies of this patent may be obtained for at the frontends to the lowerends ofpsaid hanger arms and upright members rigidly connected to saidbeams and pivotall'yconnected at the upper ends to the rear ends of]said lirikslactuation of said shift lever serving to swing said plowshorizontally in the Y same direction and oppositely to the "direc tionof said shift lever.
